As home prices are still high and mortgage rates are up compared to one year ago, people who move back may prefer to stay in the rental market, driving up the already high rental demand in these areas.
You'd have layoffs, everything from the field hands up to the C-Suite.
This expectation is becoming more visible in the growing number of companies resorting to layoffs as a hedge against a potential economic slowdown, people who are laid off pull back on spending, and even those who are still employed may begin to do the same due to worries about losing their job, thus potentially sending consumer spending into a downward spiral.
